i
n recent years, the
S.P. imes
has worked hard to present amore honest and credible image to the public, attemptingto shed its reputation or biased reporting. Te newspaper’srecent “special” report eposed the acade: At its core, the
S.P.imes
has not changed. It is an organization that twists the newsto incite hatred against Scientologists and stops at nothing topaint a alse picture o the Scientology religion and the Church.Recounting its long record o bigotry toward the Church o Scientology, its members, sta and leaders is unnecessary. hat is something with which most ampa Bay residents areall too amiliar, including thousands o nonScientologistsappalled at the
imes
’ attempts to unairly stigmatizeScientologists who are their riends.But i the
imes
has not changed, the articles in this magazinedetailing Scientology’s eplosive epansion in both Clearwaterand around the world show how Scientology has continuedto grow. As the Church has gained greater local prominence,thousands o Scientologists have contributed to improving theircommunity through charities and civic groups. Scientologists work alongside riends and neighbors on civic and cultural boards,in sports and arts societies and in numerous social partnerships. Te newly restored Fort Harrison regularly hosts unctions orother charitable organizations; public are welcomed or toursand Church sta work hard to invite questions and provide anopen response. Jutaposed with the daytoday reality o riends,neighbors and workmates who are Scientologists, the hysteria o the
imes
’ stereotypes has become selevident.A ull and objective review o the recent allegations the
imes
 presented to the Church rom our eScientologists evidencesboth the lack o credibility and sinister motives o these sources—people who will say anything to attack their ormer aith. Te same alse allegations have been posted on the “grassy knoll” o the Internet by avowed Scientologisthaters or years.Even though rstperson accounts rom dozens o eyewitnesses demolished the abrications presented by the
imes
’ sources, reporters Joe Childs and om obin
reused 
 to hear rom those eyewitnesses. Te Church provided an unprecedented amount o documented evidence and detailed accounts proving thesources had lied. Te Church also provided detailed evidence regarding themotives o these our apostates to lie about the religion andits leader: delusionary ideas o “taking over” the Church,resentment over their removal rom posts and money.In the most oensive gesture o all, the
S.P. imes
reusedto accept an oer o an inperson interview with Mr. DavidMiscavige, the ecclesiastical leader o the Scientology religion. Te interview would have been his rst in  years and only the third in his 5year career as the Church’s leader. Despitepurporting to seek this interview, to which Mr. Miscavige hadimmediately agreed, the newspaper abandoned its acade o objectivity, cancelled the interview and rushed to print. Te
imes
reporters and their bosses
knew
the scheduled interview  with Mr. Miscavige was absolutely essential under undamental journalistic standards and ethics. When they turned their backson that interview, the reporters made a conscious decision to turntheir backs on the truth. Ater all, they knew a response wouldurther annihilate the credibility o their sources, rendering theiralse story atal. Te Church oered the reporters ull and unettered access tothe Church and all acilities. obin and Childs reused to acceptthe oer. Te
imes
decided this inormation “wasn’t relevant”to their story, that somehow an interview with the Church’secclesiastical leader was unnecessary even or a threepart serieson the man.So, in response to the
imes
ehibition o unprovokedmalice and shredding o the truth,
Freedom
presents the real story o both the Church … and the socalled journalism practiced by the
S.P. imes
